I went here for a simple/​straightforward cut after reading great things on Unilocal.The barber I got was inexperienced, didn’t listen to what I wanted (even after another barber translated for me), and fielded cell phone calls during my cut. The cut was grossly uneven on the sides and the neck. It also took a while to be seated, even though I was the only one waiting and there were a couple free chairs with barbers hanging around, talking, etc. I will give this place one more shot, but will refuse this barber in hopes for someone better.

Best hair cut ever. The detail they go into when they cut your hair is amazing. You are getting an amazing hair cut for less than a haircut at supercuts where they do not take the time to cut your hair to the detail they do here.

The best haircut I have had in my fifty plus years of life. Miguel, the oldest barber in the place is a master. I counted, 20 different razors, scissors, tonics and powders he used on me. The scalp and back massage from the 1960’s era hand massager was amazing. I’m going back for the haircut and shave in two weeks. It brought me back to a 1960’s type of regular boys haircut in the old school barber chair. AWESOME!

First of all this place is now called Elvin’s Barber Shop. A Dominican barber shop in the heart of the Upper West Side. Clearly the most popular and best barber is Elvin (the owner). He is so good, that an appointment is required to see him, so make a call and make your appointment.
From there the rest of the crew can vary but at the moment you have El Maestro (the oldest man there but he’s a good man). Then you have El Mayimbe. He always has his Bible by his side as God guides his hand to give you the best possible cut. Finally, Carlito, the youth of the barbershop, but don’t let his youth fool you. He has talent and has the second highest booking after Elvin.
Friendly and fun atmosphere with professionalism and customer care as its priority. The best barbershop in town.

De La Cruz Barbershop between Columbus and Amsterdam Ave looks like a whole in the wall, but is a hidden gem of the Upper West Side. Most of the speaking is done in Spanish, but for non-​Spanish speakers, all of the transactions and discussions are done in English. For $ 13 you can get a top notch haircuit. I have always found my hair to be meticulously cut, oils and after shave are applied, and as an added bonus the barbers give you a quick massage with a hand-​operated machine. As one who does not tend to enjoy getting my haircut, De La Cruz has kept me coming back for 3 years, and I will probably continue to come back after moving to the East Side.
